Why a £59 Facebook Will Isn’t the Answer

“You are too expensive – I can get a Will for £59 on Facebook.”

Perceptions needs to change. A will should not be cheap – you do not want it to be cheap. 

This is a document that dictates who the guardians of your children are and who cares for them if you are not here.  Think about that.  This is a document that deals with every single item that you own. Think about that.   

Your house, your car, your jewellery, your investments, your money in the bank, your shares in the business… EVERYTHING. Think about what they mean to you and how hard you have worked to achieve them.  Do you still want your Will to be cheap?
